Klein Constantia Home Renovation
The brief on this project was to address the overall lack of light in the home. The clients were tired of their dark and outdated interior that hadn't seen a renovation for 20 years. They also wanted to improve the TV/Fireplace wall and the arrangement of furniture in the living space. This was achieved with new lighting solutions, new colour scheme, the re-positioning of the TV to the central wall and the creation of custom cabinetry on either side to create a large feature wall around which we rearranged the seating area. The walls, ceiling and existing kitchen cabinetry all received a new paint shade to lighten and brighten the interior. Wooden floors replaced the outdated tiled floor. Most items of furniture needed re-upholstering and repainting. The dining table got a new lease of life with a sanding to remove the yellow varnish and a grey wash carefully techniqued over to highlight the oak grain, giving it a wonderful new feel when paired with the existing chairs that were painted white. Bedrooms were updated with new curtains and blinds, padded headboards, custom bed throws, lamps and scatters. An old tired leather desk chair destined to be thrown out was rescued, recovered in Charcoal velvet, a new set of chrome wheels replaced the black plastic ones and silver studs added to the upholstery trim. This was a wonderful transformation and I am so glad the clients had trust in my vision for their beautiful home.
